Raiders' questionable offensive approach evident vs. Cardinals

The Las Vegas Raiders were expected to have one of the NFL's top offenses with the addition of All-Pro wideout Davante Adams to a lineup that already included QB Derek Carr and Pro Bowlers Hunter Renfrow (WR) and Darren Waller (TE).

However, Week 2's historic collapse against the Cardinals saw Renfrow fumble the game away and Adams, Carr's college teammate, finish with two receptions for 12 yards and a one-yard TD reception. 

"One week after receiving 17 targets, Davante Adams was targeted just seven times against the Cardinals...It wasn’t by design; the receiver just wasn’t getting open at the same rate," writes Tashan Reed of The Athletic. 

Las Vegas lost a 20-0 lead -- the biggest blown lead in franchise history. 

The offense as a whole is struggling. Las Vegas ranks 13th in points and has an 0-2 record. Per The Sporting News, of the 400 teams that have started the season 0-2 since 1970, only 38 have reached the playoffs. Most worrisome, the Raiders haven't established a sense of direction on offense. 

The team has passed 76 times compared to 33 rushes. The rushing attempts are far too few, especially with running back Josh Jacobs averaging 4.3 yards per attempt.
